Make waves this summer with the following activities at the library:

Reading With Friends partners teens with elementary school age children who will benefit from practicing their new reading skills with a high school age volunteer.

To sign up call Teen Librarian Barbara Svoboda at (215) 443-2609 ext. 202 or email her at bsvoboda@mclinc.org and tell us what grade you will be entering this fall.

Learn to create computer animated stories and simple video games with Scratch, an open source software program from MIT. Share your code with teens in other communities via the MIT Scratch website.

Scratch classes for teens in grades 6 through 12 are limited to 10 people per session so that each user can work on a laptop computer. Pre-registration is required. To sign up call Teen Librarian Barbara Svoboda at (215) 443-2609 ext. 202 or email her at bsvoboda@mclinc.org.

Session 1 will be July 6, 7, 8 and 9 from 1:30 to 3 PM.
